Sorry for the delay in the update, but was busy on the course from work and only got back at the weekend, so had some family time. Hope you enjoy this chapter and think it was worth the wait.

Chapter 16

"Your turn El," she mumbled and reaching out to shake him. Her hand fell on an empty spot on the other side of the bed. She turned over and rolled onto Elliot's side as she listened to the baby monitor.

"Hey kiddo," said Elliot's sleepy voice though the small monitor. "You hungry again?" he asked him and Olivia heard a rustle as Elliot lifted him up. "There you go, ssshhh it's okay, daddy's got you," he said, as his small cries began to turn to a whimper. "That's it, I think you just wanted a cuddle didn't you… yeah you just don't want your mommy and daddy to have any sleep."

Olivia heard the creak of the rocking chair as Elliot sat down.

"You know what Spud, I'm gonna let you in on something. Even though me and your Mom take turns during the night to get up and see to you….. I always wake up as well….and I could bet you a hundred dollars your mommy is awake right now listening to us two talking, listening in on our man to man talk."

Olivia giggled as she listened to Elliot talking and climbed out of bed, quietly making her way next door to her son and Ellliot. She stopped in the doorway of the room and just stared. Elliot was sitting in the rocking chair in only a pair of boxers, their Son resting on his chest, the only light in the room coming in from the street lights outside.

"God, you are both so beautiful," she said not moving from the doorway.

"See Spud, told you she was awake," he said smiling as he turned to face her. Olivia walked towards them and kissed them both on the head.

"Are you ever going to use his real name and stop calling him Spud?" she asked him.

"Hey I use his real name….. don't I buddy?" he said looking down at his sleeping son.

"El, your called him spud to the nurse at his check up. When asked by the woman in the coffee shop what his name was you said Spud and I had to correct you. I mean even Fin and Munch call him Spud."

Elliot looked up at her grinning. "I guess it kinda stuck," he laughed.

"Yeah well can you at least call him Liam when people we don't know ask his name."

"Okay I will try."

"I guess he was just a bit twisty," she said looking down at him.

"Yeah he calmed down as soon as I picked him up." Elliot stood up and carried him back to his cot and lay him back down. He whimpered a little but stayed asleep. "Come on," said Elliot taking her hand and leading her back to their room.

They climbed into bed and lay facing each other.

"What time you seeing your doctor tomorrow?" asked Elliot.

"Just before lunch, fingers crossed he will give us the green light," she said wiggling her eyebrows. "I have missed you the last 7 weeks."

"I've missed you to," he said leaning in and kissing her. His tongue slightly touching hers and she moaned into his mouth. Elliot felt himself getting aroused and pulled away from her slightly. "We need to stop baby," he told her a little breathless.

"El…" she said moving closer and kissing him. "I know you need release, I feel you pressing against me every morning, just like you are now." She moved her hand under the sheet and cupped him with her hand. "We can't have sex till I see the Doctor tomorrow and he say's I'm okay to, but that doesn't stop me from helping you get what you need…. In other ways," she said squeezing him through his shorts.

"Damn Liv," he said as her hand moved towards the waist of his shorts. "Christ….. I can't believe I'm actually going to do and say this," he said more to himself than Olivia as he took hold of her hand stopping her just as she was reaching into his shorts. "But you need to stop, baby."

"Why?" she asked looking hurt.

"Because when you touch me I need more from you."

"But El….."

"But nothing, I want more than your hand jerking me off just because I need some release. And when the doctor says your okay… which will be hopefully tomorrow, we can make up for the last seven weeks of going without."

"Your amazing do you know that?"

"Either that or I'm totally crazy," he laughed. "Now if you will excuse me I'm going for a cold shower to get rid of this so I can go back to sleep." He climbed out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

"You know El," she said causing him to turn and face her. "You must be crazy, cause I was gonna give you a blow job, not just jerk you off."

Elliot dropped his head and banged it against the door frame. "You are an evil woman," he groaned looking down at the raging hard on he had in his shorts. "And if we get the okay tomorrow I'm gonna make you pay for this," he said walking into the bathroom.

"Are you sure your okay with doing this?" Elliot asked quietly into the phone.

"Yes Dad, it's not like I haven't baby sat before, Kathleen is going to come over and stay as well."

"Okay I will see you later," he said hanging up as Olivia came into the room.

"Who was that on the phone?" she asked as she pulled her coat on.

"Maureen, just called to chat," he half lied to her. "You sure you don't need me to come with you?"

"I will be fine El, I will let you know what the Doc says as soon as I have seen him. What you and Spu….. " Elliot chuckled as she almost said Spud. "…Liam gonna do today?"

"Well I thought as your going to see the guys down at the station after you appointment and have lunch with them, me and spud here, sorry Liam, would meet up with Don and have some lunch."

"Well have fun and tell Don to pop round later this week for dinner. I will see you when you both get back," she bent over and kissed Liam first and then Elliot. "I love you both."

"We Love you too," he told her as she turned and left.

"Okay, little guy," he said as soon as the door closed. "Let's get going we have a lot to sort out before Mommy gets home."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Don stood up from the table as Elliot approached with Liam. "How you doing Elliot?" he asked shaking his hand.

"Good, real good," he smiled as Don turned his attention to Jack.

"And what about this little guy, he seems to have grown since last week," he said looking down at him in the stroller.

"I'm not surprised with the amount he eats," laughed Elliot as they both sat down.

"I still can't believe you gave him Donald as a middle name," he said turning Liam so he was facing him.

"Yeah well, me and Liv both figured it was because of you we actually got together, so…"

"Hey all I done was partner the two of you up."

"Yeah but you could have split us up loads of times, but you didn't and we really thank you for that."

Don smiled "So we gonna order before you tell me what was so important that we had to meet up."

Elliot nodded and picked up the menu. They both ordered before they spoke again.

"So…" said Don taking a sip of his soda water.

"Okay," said Elliot taking a deep breath. "You already know Liv isn't going back to work, well not for the police anyway."

"Yeah, and I have to say I was quite happy about that."

"Me too, I worried enough about her before. She was talking the other day about helping in rape crisis centre, you know once she decides to go back."

Cragen smiled "She will be so good working there helping people."

"Yeah she will, and at least she will be a lot safer and home every night."

"So if we aren't here to talk about Olivia and her job …." Said Cragen. "It must be about you."

Elliot smiled. "Yeah, I've enjoyed working in Homicide since I got back on the force, but now we have Liam and…. I just missed out on so much with my other kids and I don't want that again."

"So what can I do to help?"

"Well I was thinking about applying for a job at the Academy as an instructor, I just wondered if you could put in a good word for me. You know people at the Academy, I was thinking a good word from my Captain of 14 years couldn't do me any harm."

"You sure your ready to come off the streets?"

Elliot looked down at Liam "Yeah I'm ready, the thought that something might happen to me and I will never see Liam, Eli or any of my kids grow up….. When Lewis had me I came so close, if it wasn't for Liv he would have killed me. I can't keep risking my life not anymore, I have come close so many times, my luck is gonna run out sooner or later. I can't have Liv worrying every time I go to work, I can't do that to her."

"Does Olivia know about this?"

"No not yet, I wanted to get the job first before I told her. I haven't been back to work yet since Lewis, as I haven't been cleared by the Doc yet. I just want to surprise her, well hopefully."

They both stopped talking as the waitress put their food down.

"Give me a few days I will make some calls, I still have a few contacts there, I will see what I can do," he told Elliot, then started to chuckle. "You teaching new recruit's interview techniques, god help future Perps."

Olivia closed the door quietly behind her as she entered the apartment. She had rang Elliot earlier to tell him the good news from the Doctors and that she was going to be home a little later as she had to sign off some paperwork from a case she had worked on before she had Liam. He told her not to worry about it as he and Liam were going for an afternoon nap.

She took her coat and shoes off and walked down the corridor to their room. She gently opened the door and gasped at what she saw. Elliot was lay on the bed in only a towel wrapped around his waist. Liam was lay on his chest a small towel wrapped around his waist as well just like his dad, they were both asleep.

Olivia took here phone from her pocket and walked a little closer before taking a photo of them. She leant over Elliot and kissed his lips softly. Elliots eyes fluttered open.

"Hey Baby," he said his voice croaky form just waking up. "You have a good day?"

"Yeah, it was good to see the guys. I take it you guys were full of busy," she said sitting on the bed next to them.

"Yeah, we done a bit of shopping , had lunch with Don. Then Spud decided to throw up all over the two of us as we watched TV, so we had a shower, then lay down."

"You took him in the shower?"

"Yeah, he loved it and it was so much easier than filling his bath, you need to try it one day."

Olivia looked down at her son who still sleeping. "When is he due his next feed?"

"Probably when he wakes up, which reminds me. You need to express some milk for tonight."

"What? Why?"

"Because we are going out," he said sitting up and gently lying Liam on the bed next to him.

"We are?"

"Yep. Maureen and Kathleen are looking after their brother, while you and me go out for a nice meal and maybe another little surprise after," he said wrapping his arms around her. "We need some me and you time, we haven't had that for a while."

"Hmmm sounds good… " she said kissing him. "The girls don't mind watching him?"

"You kidding me, they jumped at the chance." He looked at the clock. "In fact they are going to be here in a couple of hours, so we best get sorted."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"So you know where everything is," Elliot said to Maureen as Kathleen made a fuss of Liam.

"Yes Dad, Jeez it isn't the first time we have watched a baby."

"Yeah I know sweetheart…This is to put on him later," he said giving her a small bag. She smiled and put it under the cushion behind Kathleen.

"Have you got everything Dad?" asked Kathleen.

"Yeah, well I hope I have," he smiled nervously as Olivia came out the bedroom. Elliot turned his head to look at her. "Wow, Baby. You look amazing," he said walking over to her. "Very hot, very sexy," he grinned putting his hands on her hips and pulling her to him .

"I aim to please," she said. "You look pretty hot yourself." Elliot cupped her face and kissed her softly, forgetting his two oldest daughters were in the same room.

"Ahem!" said Kathleen. "Don't you two have a table booked, instead of standing there and eating each other."

They broke apart and Olivia blushed slightly. "Thanks for this guys," she said to them as she bent over and kissed Liam's head. "Any problems just call us."

"We will don't worry, just enjoy yourselves," said Maureen pushing them to the door. Elliot winked at his daughter as closed the door behind him.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Chinese," laughed Olivia when the cab stopped.

"Yeah, well we both love the food, and I heard this place is amazing," he smiled at her taking her hand and leading her into the restaurant.

They were shown to their table and handed the menus. Elliot ordered a bottle of Champagne as Olivia looked at menu.

"We celebrating something?" asked Olivia as the waiter opened the bottle and poured them a glass. Elliot waited until he left.

"Oh yeah we are celebrating, you finally got the all clear which means I can now make love to my gorgeous girlfriend again."

"You know you didn't have to take me out for a nice meal, I would have had sex with you anyway," she smirked.

"Oh I know, I just wanted to spoil you and have some time to ourselves, without diapers or baby sick."

"Hey I'm not complaining," she said taking a drink of the Champagne.

They ordered their food and just like normal they shared everything as they talked and laughed. After their meal and as Olivia was looking at the desert menu her phone rang. She smiled as she looked at the screen.

"It's Maureen on facetime," she told Elliot. Elliot smiled but looked a little nervous. "You okay?" she asked him as she answered the call.

"Yeah," he nodded giving her a little smile.

"Hey you two," said Olivia as Maureen and Kathleen appeared on her screen. "Everything okay?"

"Yeah, everything is good, just thought you might want to see Spud before we put him to bed," said Maureen.

"Yeah, that would be nice," smiled Olivia over the phone at Elliot. He smiled back and leant forward resting his elbows on the table between them.

"Here he is," said Kathleen lifting Liam up to the camera. Maureen moved the phone camera slightly and focused on the little top he was wearing.

"What the hell," said Olivia glancing back to Elliot.

"Read what it says Liv."

Olivia looked back at the video of her son. "Mommy, Daddy has a ? 4 U….PTO," she read out loud looking confused.

"Come here Buddy," said Kathleen as she turned Liam around so his back was to the camera.

"Wil Stabler 2" she read out, before looking back at Elliot who had moved and was now knelt down in front of her. "El," she whispered tears in her eyes.

"Olivia Benson, will you Marry me?" he asked her opening the small black box in front of him. The whole restaurant had gone quiet as they all looked and waited for her answer. Olivia reached forward and touched the white gold and diamond ring in the box, her hand shaking.

"Y…..Yes Baby I would love to marry you," she sniffed as the tears she had been holding back flowed down her cheeks. Elliot smiled and reached up cupping her face as he pulled her to him and kissed her hard.

"I love you so much," he said as everyone in the restaurant cheered and clapped.

"God I love you to," she said as he placed the ring on her finger and kissed her again.

After being congratulated by the two girls Olivia hung up the phone, as Elliot pulled his chair round the table so he was sat next to her, holding her hand.

"You don't know how happy you just made me by saying yes."

"Trust me," she grinned. "I have a good idea about how happy you are right now, if its anything like how I feel."

He kissed her again softly at first then turning more passionate. "I think we should get out of here," he said against her lips.

"Mmmm sounds good to me," she replied her lips finding his again. Elliot forced himself to pull away and went to pay the bill.

"You ready," he said holding out his hand to her.

"Oh yeah," she said. "And as long as our little boy stays asleep I have big plans for my future husband tonight," she winked at him as they headed for the door.

"You do huh?"

Olivia nodded as they got outside.

"Well that's good to know. And as for Spud staying asleep we don't need to worry about that."

"We won't?"

"Nope," he said nodding his head to the hotel just across the street as put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a hotel key. "I have booked us into the penthouse suit for the night….. a little engagement present to ourselves," he told her.

"Oh my god El," she gasped as she wrapped her arms around him. "You are amazing," she asid kissing him hard. "Now take me to bed, and make love to me," she told him as he took her hand and led her across the street to the hotel.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The door to the room had no sooner shut and Elliot had Olivia pinned against it kissing her hard.

"Jesus Baby it's only been seven weeks, but it's felt like so much longer," he said between kisses, his mouth making his way down to her neck kissing and sucking.

"God I know," she said pulling at his shirt trying to undo the buttons. "El, did you come here earlier?" she asked. "And leave some fresh clothes for the morning."

"Yeah, why?"

"Just wondered," she said as she ripped his shirt open, the small buttons hitting the floor, and pulled it from him.

Elliot unzipped the back of her dress and pulled it down over her shoulders and let it drop to the floor. He stepped back slightly to look at her. "Fucking gorgeous," he said his voice low and deep as his eyes roamed over her body, as she stood in front of him in black lace panties and bra. He stepped forward again and kissed her hard, before his mouth left her lips and slowly he made his way down her body.

He stopped at her breasts and squeezed them softly flicking his thumbs over her hard nipples pushing at the lace, before sliding his tongue into the valley between them as he continued his way down her body.

"Oh god El," she sighed as knelt in front of her his head level with her pussy. She shuddered as his mouth covered her over the top of the lace panties as he kissed her. She rested her hand on top of his head and pushed her hips towards him needing more. "Fuck El….stop teasing," she warned him.

Elliot grinned and hooked his fingers under the elastic of her panties and pulled them down her legs.

"Damn, Liv," he groaned when he saw her freshly waxed pussy.

"Yeah I didn't…. didn't only visit …..the station today," she struggled to say as his tongue delved between the lips of her pussy and he licked the full length. "Hmmmmm," she moaned as his tongue circled her clit before he took it in his mouth and sucked on it gently.

He lifted her leg over his shoulder as he tongue delved deep inside her juices covering his tongue. He reached down and undone the belt on his trousers, before undoing them fully and releasing his hard cock into his hand as he continued to lick and suck on her.

"El… you need to stop," she panted.

"What…..Why?" he asked looking up at her his mouth glistening with her juices.

"Cause I want to cum with you inside me, I need you inside me."

Elliot smiled and stood up kissing her lips letting her taste herself on him. She reached down and took hold of his cock stroking his full length.

"El, take me to bed and make love to me," she whispered. Without a word he lifted her up into his arms and carried her to the large bed laying her down. She reached back and undone her bra throwing it on the floor as Elliot removed the rest of his clothes as she watched, and pushed herself further up the bed.

Once he was undressed he climbed onto the bed and crawled between her legs his hands either side of her as he hovered above her, his cock pushing against her pussy.

"Baby if it hurts just tell me and I will stop okay, I never want to hurt you. If we have to wait a little longer then we will."

Olivia reached up and stroked the side of his face. "I promise you I will tell you if it hurts."

Elliot nodded and bent his head kissing her lips softly as he pushed slowly into her. She hissed as he entered her making him stop.

"Does that hurt?"

Olivia shook her head. "Just a little tender, but don't stop its okay."

Elliot looked a little uncertain as he slowly pushed fully inside her and held still as she adjusted to him. "That okay?" he asked her.

She nodded and began to move her hips. "It's more than okay," she told him. Elliot smiled and began to push into her slowly and gently at first.

"Christ Liv, I forgot how tight you were," he said as he thrust a little harder and she moved to meet his every thrust. "You feel so good….. god I've missed this," he panted as they both moved together and he pushed deep inside her. He dropped his mouth to her breast and took her hard nipple between his lips and sucked gently. He chuckled a little and lifted his head.

"Mmmm baby milk," he grinned as he continued to thrust inside her and crashed his mouth to hers as he felt the blood rushing through his veins, his cock throbbing inside her. "I can't hold on much longer," he gasped as he reached between them and rubbed his thumb over her swollen clit.

"Oh yeah…. That's it baby, a little harder…. Aaahh right there," she yelled as her orgasm ripped through her body causing her to shudder violently. She grabbed hold of Elliot digging her nails into his back as she came, her inner walls gripping hold of his pulsing cock as he released inside her. his hot seed spurting deep , as he continued to thrust deeply.

"You okay," Olivia asked him as he finally relaxed on top of her.

"Huh huh," he mumbled into her neck. "Just need a minute," he panted.

"Take as long as you need I'm not going anywhere," she told him wrapping her arms tightly around him.

He finally lifted his head and looked down at her. "I'm not hurting you, am I?"

"No, this is perfect, you okay now?"

"Yeah, just went a little light headed….. I can't ever remember coming that hard before," he grinned. "Didn't I say you were going to be a MILF."

Olivia slapped his ass cheeks laughing. "It's a good job I love you, because sometimes you can be such a prick."

"Yeah but I'm your prick."

"Yeah you are," she said lifting her hand up and looking at the ring he gave her earlier. "I don't think I have ever been this happy before," she said dropping her hands and running her fingers up and down his back. "It's like I suddenly have everything I have ever wanted. A year ago I never thought this would happen, my life was a mess."

"Liv a year ago we were both a mess. I had been a mess since I left Special Victims, since I left you. I need you just like you need me. We need each other, I think since the day we became partners we were destined to be together. It was fate, and we had to go through all that bad shit before we got to the good stuff."

"You really think that?"

"I know that, we were definitely meant to be Liv. After everything we have been through we are together and happy. We have a gorgeous little boy at home and you just agreed to marry me. How much better can things get?"

"I just never thought I would ever be here."

"Well you are, so believe it."

Olivia lifted her head and kissed him softly "I love you El, more than you will ever know."

"I love you more," he said rubbing his nose against hers. He felt her squeeze against his cock which was still buried inside her.

"You ready to go again?"

"I'm always ready for you," he grinned dropping his head and kissing her hard.

"I can't believe you dragged me out of that great hotel room so early," moaned Elliot as they stood in the elevator up to their apartment at just after 4am, and no sleep.

"I'm sorry but I missed him…. you don't really mind do you?"

"Nah," he smiled. "I was kinda missing him as well," he said taking her hand as the doors opened. "But as soon as we see him we are going to bed, you have worn me out tonight."

"It was a great night," she grinned as they walked towards the apartment. Elliot reached into his pocket for the keys as the got close and suddenly stopped, Olivia bumped into him.

"El?" she said then looked to what he was staring at. The door to the apartment was open slightly, they could see splinters were it had been busted open. "Oh god," said Olivia as she tried to push past Elliot. He grabbed her arm to stop her and pulled her back behind him putting his finger to his lips.

He stepped forward and slowly pushed the door open and stepped inside. They both stood in the darkness of the room and listened for any noise, when they couldn't hear anything Elliot reached up and switched on the light.

"NO!" Elliot yelled as his eyes fell on Maureen and Kathleen who were lying on the floor tied together and gagged, dried blood on the head wounds they both had. He ran to them and dropped beside them pulling the gags from their mouths. "Liv!" he said turning round to her and seeing she was rooted to the spot. "Liam, go check on Liam!" he told her as he checked both his girls for a pulse and finding one on both of them.

Olivia ran from the living room and down the corridor to their son's room, as Elliot called 911 for an ambulance. He was in the middle of the call when Olivia ran back into the room.

"El," she said. Elliot looked over to her and knew straight away something was wrong.

"Liv, what is it?" he asked her as she walked towards him.

"He…. He isn't here," she said tears running down her face.

"What do you mean he isn't there?"

"He's gone…. Someone has taken him."

I know I'm bad, lol. Give you all a nice little fluffy chapter till the end.
